Does this work in a recent Firefox?

If it doesn't, then this is TE and the webmaster should be notified that his site is broken on Gecko.

Yes, it seems to work in Firefox

Site behaves just as poorly in the latest Bon Echo build as with Camino trunk. It is better in Safari, but not correct either. The only browser to work well on that slideshow is IE (Mac and Win). It is also poor on Win XP IE 7 b3 - that is an interesting surprise.

Thing is: it displays the page in in Quirks mode (backwards compatibility) and relies heavily on how IE Win handles HTML wrongly.

TE, if you ask me.

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.

If someone is willing to investigate the issues raised in this bug to determine whether they still exist, *and* work with the site in question to fix any existing issues, please feel free to re-open and assign to yourself.

Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.
